# Cards

To display content in a box matching Starlight’s styles, use the `<Card>` component.

:::card{title="Moons" icon="moon"}
Io, Europa, Ganymede
:::

## Import

```tsx
import { Card } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';
```

## Usage

Display a card using the `<Card>` component and provide a [`title`](#title) for the card.

```mdx
import { Card } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';

<Card title="Check this out">Interesting content you want to highlight.</Card>
```

```markdoc
{% card title="Check this out" %}
Interesting content you want to highlight.
{% /card %}
```

:::card{title="Check this out"}
Interesting content you want to highlight.
:::

### Add icons to cards

Include an icon in a card using the [`icon`](#icon) attribute set to the name of [one of Starlight’s built-in icons](/guides/reference-icons#all-icons).

```mdx 'icon="star"'
import { Card } from '@astrojs/starlight/components';

<Card title="Stars" icon="star">
	Sirius, Vega, Betelgeuse
</Card>
```

```markdoc 'icon="star"'
{% card title="Stars" icon="star" %}
Sirius, Vega, Betelgeuse
{% /card %}
```

:::card{title="Stars" icon="star"}
Sirius, Vega, Betelgeuse
:::

### Group cards

Display multiple cards side-by-side when there’s enough space by grouping them using the [`<CardGrid>`](/guides/components-card-grids) component.
See the [“Group cards”](/guides/components-card-grids#group-cards) guide for an example.

## `<Card>` Props

**Implementation:** [`Card.astro`](https://github.com/withastro/starlight/blob/main/packages/starlight/src/user-components/Card.astro)

The `<Card>` component accepts the following props:

### `title`

**required**\
**type:** `string`

The title of the card to display.

### `icon`

**type:** `string`

A card can include an `icon` attribute set to the name of [one of Starlight’s built-in icons](/guides/reference-icons#all-icons).
